Unit
The “Raspberry Shake RS4D” Personal Seismograph & Accelerograph is an all-in-one, IoT
plug-and-go solution for personal seismology that integrates a single vertical velocity sensors
with a 2G orthogonal MEMS accelerometer, the digitizers, the hyper dampers, and the computer
into a single box. The Raspberry Shake RS4D is manufactured in Panamá using cutting-edge
3D printing and laser-cutting technology.

V4+: 21 mm/s peak-to-peak from 0.1 to 10 Hz
Minimum Detection V5+: 0.08 µm/ s RMS from 1 to 20 Hz @ 100 sps
Threshold (estimate)
V4: 0.16 µm/ s RMS from 1 to 20 Hz @ 100 sps
Note: The minimum detectable level is considered to be 10
dB above the noise RMS. Dynamic range is the full scale
sinusoid RMS over the noise RMS in dB.
Digitizer 24-bit ADC Sigma-Delta 𝚺𝚫
Dynamic range 144 dB (24 bits)
Effective bits (estimate) V5+: 21 bits (126 dB) from 1 to 20 Hz @ 100 sps (for the
entire analog to digital hardware chain).
V4: 18 bits (109 dB) from 1 to 20 Hz @ 100 sps (for the
entire analog to digital hardware chain).
Note: Whereas most manufacturers report this for their
digitizer only, we are reporting it for the entire sensor + ADC
hardware chain. The effective bits of the digitizer itself are
necessarily better.
This parameter is also commonly known as “Dynamic
Range”; “RMS to RMS noise"; or "noise free bits".
Velocity Channel Instrument Response:
Sleeman Self-Noise:
Accelerograph: MEMs
Think of the addition of the MEMs sensor as your insurance plan to guarantee that the
Raspberry Shake remains on-scale for big earthquakes or smaller, local ones where the
Raspberry Shake is located near the source, as often happens in settings like Oklahoma.

Dynamic range 144 dB (24 bits)
Effective bits (estimate) V4+: 14 bits (84 dB) from 1 to 10 Hz @ 100 sps(for the
entire analog to digital hardware chain).
Note: Whereas most manufacturers report this for their
digitizer only, we are reporting it for the entire sensor +
ADC hardware chain. The effective bits of the digitizer itself
are necessarily better.
This parameter is also commonly known as “Dynamic

Parameter Value
Power Supply Voltage 5 Volts DC (2.5 Amp supply)
Power Consumption (RPi + Startup: 5 Volts x 0.550 A = 2.8 Watts
Raspberry Shake, estimated)
Run-time: 5 Volts x 0.460 A = 2.3 Watts
Calibration Mechanism: Calibration not required over time but can be verified using the OSOP
Calibration Table. All seismographs are verified prior to shipping to ensure that their gain is
within 10% of the nominal instrument response (up to 10% variation attributable to geophones
and capacitors).
